Bio
Professionally I work in a variety of postions to empower entrepreneurs across the Middle East and North Africa region; as the investment manager at Wamda, the Entrepreneurial unit coordinator at Aramex International, Regional support unit coordinator for the M.I.T. Enterprise Forum Arab Business Plan Competition, and the investment manager for MENA Venture Investments Ltd, and also as a mentor at Mowgli, Oasis500, and the Queen Rania Center for Entrepreneurship, among others. I assist in the screening, selection, negotiation and investment at the seed / startup stage of ventures and provide access to a network of training, coaching and consultancy.
I hold a B.Comm. in Marketing from Concordia University, during which time I established a music management company and founded a non-for-profit organization. Upon graduation, I founded 101 Immigration Inc., an immigration consultancy firm headquartered in Montreal, Canada that has eight offices in the MENA region. I then obtained my MBA with honors from the American University of Beirut and gathered over 12 years of managerial, leadership and marketing experience.
Otherwise, I am passionate about music, spirituality, traveling, the work of Ken Wilber. I aim to work to help contribute to the world in a positive way and be united with my daughter, Cerine in the near future.
